So seems there is enough interest in the playoff pool, so here we go. First a few basic rules:
There will be one winner at the end of the 2010 Stanley Cup Hockey Playoffs. The winner is entitled to a six month Premium GA membership, paid by me . If the winner is already a Paid Member, they can extend their membership, or in the case of a Hosted Author, Moderator/Administrator, or even a member who isn't interested in the membership, they can donate the monies to the operation of GA on their behalf.
This is for fun. Their is no entry fee, thus taking away the gambling. If you're a member here at GA, you are eligble to enter. I'm sure there is ways to get around the rules, but hey, lets just concentrate on the fun.
The winner will be the person with the most points out of a possible 65. Each series winner is worth 5 points. In case of a tie, there will be a unbiased draw from the possible winners to decide the final winner.
Each round is a best of seven game series. I don't need to know how many games the series will be won in as this will make things complicated.
Round one series are:
East
(1) Washington Capitals vs. (8) New York Rangers
(2) Philadelphia Flyers vs. (7) Buffalo Sabres
(3) Boston Bruins vs. (6) Montreal Canadiens
(4) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (5) Tampa Bay Lightning
West
(1) Vancouver Canucks vs. (8) Chicago Blackhawks
(2) San Jose Sharks vs. (7) Los Angeles Kings
(3) Detroit Red Wings vs. (6) Phoenix Cayotes
(4) Anaheim Ducks vs. (5) Nashville Predators
Okay, here is the bonus. I will give each entry till 11:59 MST on Saturday to change or submit their votes. All teams will have two games under their belt by that time. This means if you picked a team in Round 1, then you have the opportunity to change your entry before midnight Saturday night. At that time, I will be printing off the entries so no further changes will be allowed.
Please look at Ramon's and TetRefine's enteries above. That is all you have to do!!! Have fun and if you have any questions either PM me or ask them here in the topic.
Let's have fun and continue to talk the pool up. The more people that join, the more fun it will be
